I bought a bucket from lowes and a handy mans carry thing with all kinds of pockets. it fits inside the bucket. You have pockets inside and out the bucket plus you have the whole inside circle of bucket to put bigger things.you can cover the bucket with a plastic bag if it rains when you take it some where. You could quilt around the handle to make it easy to carry. I take it with me where I have to go travel or to a class.
